My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

All rise for His Royal Highness, Duke! 👑

Duke may only weigh 15 pounds, but he rules with the confidence of a Great Dane. His royal decrees are simple:
💌 People are to be adored at all times.
🛋️ Couch cuddles are mandatory.
🐕 Other dogs? Forbidden from the kingdom.
🐾 Cats? Intriguing subjects—to chase or not to chase?

By night, Duke transforms from noble ruler to the perfect bedmate, sleeping soundly until morning. By day, he happily claims his throne (ahem… your couch) and expects his loyal subjects (that’s you!) to provide unlimited snuggles.

If you’re looking for a pint-sized pup with a king-sized heart, come meet our little monarch. Duke is ready to bestow his royal affection on his forever family. http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/adopt

More about this rescue

Dogs Deserve Better is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing the chained or penned dog and bringing our best friend into the home and family.

Our mission is to provide a better life for abused, neglected and abandoned canines; especially those which are chained or penned without human companionship. We strive to accomplish this through advocating for humane legislation; promoting spay and neuter; educating communities on animal welfare; and rescuing and finding loving inside homes for canines.
